Where does the Heart's Week event take place?

The event quest festivities are primarily located at the festival grounds in Belkarth, Craglorn. The Companion bonuses are available on all zones.

How long does Heart's Week last?

Heart's Week is a week-long event. Specific start and end dates will be announced closer to the event launch. For all upcoming dates, check our ESO Events Database.

Are the event quests repeatable?

No, the four main event quests (Heartsick Follies, A Toast to Malcontents, Discord Among Friends, and Matters of the Heart) are one-time story experiences and are not repeatable.

How do I earn Event Tickets during Heart's Week?

You can earn two Event Tickets per day by completing various activities while adventuring with a friend or an active Companion, such as defeating bosses, looting chests or harvesting nodes.

What are Companion Gifts?

Companion Gifts are new items found in Sanguine reward boxes. They are themed for specific Companions and increase your rapport with them. Their rapport bonus is magnified during Heart's Week.

Do I need to re-earn the Roseblood Bat Pet if I want to acquire other event collectibles?

No! As part of a new system, assembling morphing collectibles from the 2026 offerings will no longer consume the base pet. Each collectible is stand alone.

Why do Roseblood Bat Pet fragments cost 10 tickets instead of 5?

This change reflects the new system where the base pet is no longer consumed. This ensures you only need to acquire the pet once to unlock all its associated morphing collectibles.

Do I need a companion to earn tickets?

You must have either a Companion or another player in your group.

When does the Hearts Week start in ESO?

The Hearts Week starts on 11 Feb 2026

How to get started with Hearts Week

To dive into the Hearts Week festivities, you have two simple ways to begin your adventure:

Head straight to Belkarth: Travel to the festival grounds in Belkarth, Craglorn (View on Map). You'll find the main event quest giver, Kuzam-jo, a friendly Pahmar-raht priest of Mara, waiting for you there.
Or, Grab the Quest from the Crown Store and then head off to Belkarth

Hearts Week Unique Event Questline

You can take on the first new quest, Heartsick Follies from Kuzam-jo, which will lead you through a unique storyline of love and friendship. Completing each of these quests will reward you with a one-time purple reward box.

The Hearts Week storyline consists of four non-repeatable quests:

Heartsick Follies. Third objective: Ariana-at-Fara is inside Haddock's Market Delve (View on Map)
A Toast to Malcontents. Frog is on the second floor.
Discord Among Friends
Matters of the Heart

After completing the fourth quest, you will be rewarded with a Amulet of the Heart memento that is required for some of the Heart's Week achievements.

Best Activities to complete with your companion

To get the most out of the event, focus on these activities to earn your reward boxes and maximize your companion progress:

Farm Mara's Reward Boxes: Grab an active Companion or group up with friends and tackle the activities that give you reward boxes. Check the full list of activities under How to get Hearts Week Reward Boxes!
Level Your Companions: Use this time to grind their XP and rapport to unlock all abilities and unique stories. (Related: ESO Grind Guide)

How to get Event Tickets

During Hearts Week, you can earn up to two Event Tickets per day per account.

Tickets drop at the same time as your Golden Box and can be acquired from the following activities when you have an active companion or are grouped with another player:

Defeating a Delve or World boss
Defeating an Infinite Archive boss
Defeating an Incursion boss
Looting a Treasure Chest (low chance for a box/tickets)
Harvesting a resource node (low chance for a box/tickets)

Currently it seems resource nodes and treasure chests have a low chance to drop boxes, so we recommend you kill some of the bosses for tickets instead.

How to get Hearts Week Reward Boxes

Reward Boxes can be acquired from the following activities when you have an active companion or are grouped with another player:

Guaranteed when defeating a Delve or World boss (5 min cooldown)
Guaranteed when defeating an Infinite Archive boss (5 min cooldown)
A chance when completing an Incursion (Dolmens, Abyssal Geysers, Dragons, Harrowstorms, Oblivion Portals, Volcanic Vents, Mirrormoor Incursions and Siege Camps.)
Small chance when looting a Treasure Chest
Small chance when harvesting a resource node
Small chance when pickpocketing (does not grant event tickets)

Daily Gold Box

The first box you earn each day will be a golden Mara's Extravagant Parcel. This has the best chance to contain rare and valuable loot, including the Heart's Day Duelist outfit style pages. Your first ever gold box during the event is guaranteed to contain a gold-quality Companion Ring with a random trait.

Purple Box

Any additional boxes you earn on the same day will be purple-quality Mara's Delectable Parcels. While these have a lower chance for the best rewards, they still contain a great variety of useful items, including the new Companion Gifts.

Piquant Box (Achievement Box)

You can also earn a specialized Mara's Piquant Parcels by completing the new Hearts Week event achievements. These boxes are delivered into your mail.
